Hey everyone,
I’m seeking some advice and insights, please.
Last week, I had my first experience driving a Hyundai, specifically a Tucson N-Line S. It was a rental provided by my company for a two-day conference trip.
Initially, I wasn’t thrilled about driving an SUV. Comparing to my colleagues who got a Mercedes coupe and a BMW 5 Series, I felt somewhat unlucky. However, my perspective shifted drastically after actually driving the Tucson.
I was incredibly impressed by its performance and features. So much so, that I’ve now set my sights on getting one for myself. My girlfriend and I have a three-year-old daughter and another child on the way, making our current Ford Focus too small for our needs.
Upon joining this subreddit, I anticipated discovering all the positive aspects of Tucsons. However, instead, I keep coming across numerous horror stories about them encountering issues.
Hence, my question: Are there specific models or years of Tucsons that tend to be more reliable? I drove a '73 plate, which was brand new, but I’m hesitant to invest twenty or thirty grand in a slightly used one if it’s prone to problems.
I’d greatly appreciate any guidance or recommendations. Should I pursue a Tucson and if so, which ones are known for their reliability? Or would it be wiser to explore alternative SUV options?
Thank you all for your assistance!
